PRINCETON, N.J. -- U.S. Hispanics are still getting to know most of the Republican contenders for president. At this point in the campaign, less than half have formed an opinion of any Republican candidate except Donald Trump and Jeb Bush. Partly because of this, Hispanics' views of most GOP candidates range from mildly positive to mildly negative. The sole exception is Trump, whose favorable rating with Hispanics is deeply negative.
Gallup began tracking the images of all the major announced candidates for president nightly in early July. Since then, 14% of the roughly 650 Hispanics interviewed have said they view Trump favorably, while 65% have viewed him unfavorably, yielding a net favorable score of -51. This separates Trump from the next-most-unpopular Republicans among Hispanics -- Rick Perry (-7), Ted Cruz (-7) and Jim Gilmore (-6), who are viewed far less negatively.
Bush presents the greatest contrast to Trump. Bush's average 34% favorable and 23% unfavorable ratings among Hispanics since July give him a +11 net favorable score -- the highest of any GOP candidate. The net favorable scores of Marco Rubio (+5), Carly Fiorina (+3), George Pataki (+3), Scott Walker (+2) and Ben Carson (+2) all tilt slightly positive, although none of these candidates is nearly as well-known among Hispanics as Trump and Bush.
In terms of familiarity, only Trump and Bush are recognized by a majority of Hispanics. Eight in 10 have formed an opinion of Trump and about six in 10 of Bush. Familiarity dwindles to roughly 40% for Rubio and Cruz, both Cuban-Americans, as well as for Perry and Chris Christie, but drops well below that for all the others. (See the full ratings in the tables at the end.)

Tweeting that Jeb Bush should stop “speaking Mexican” is not going to improve Trump’s standing in the Hispanic community.
Are they polling the illegals?
Conclusion must be Hispanics prefer traitors over patriots?
“I’ll win the Hispanic vote”
—Donald Trump
Better get busy on that one, then.
The propaganda works. Its a war for the soul of this country. In time of war a special kind of leader is needed.
Good!!! If he’s elected maybe they will all leave since the freebies will dry up.
Difficult to correct stupid.
They’re not going to vote for a Republican anyway; unless there is free shit involved for them. Screw ‘em.
“random sample of 2,183 Hispanic adults”
The GOPe is worried they will lose the Latino/Hispanic vote. They cannot lose what they’ve never had.................................
Yet another reason to support Trump.
Hispanics aren’t the only race in the US who can vote its own self interests.
Irrelevant. None of those Hispanics who say they prefer Bush are actually going to vote Republican in the general anyway.
Even with all the pandering GWB, McCain and Romney did with "hispanics", they each received a very small percentage of that vote.
In a survey of people who may get deported 9 out of 10 disapprove of the person who has promised to deport them.
Oh who the hell cares.
Tired of everyone pandering to these people. They’re more loyal to their race than anything anyway ....
I stand with those who are loyal to this country, it’s hostory, and it’s ideals!!!
Well, this will be a good test-case as to how impactful their vote really is.
From the DUmp:
“Donald Trump most delusional statement followed. “I’ll tell you something. If I get the nomination, I will win the Latino vote. I will win it because I am going to create jobs.” He then went on to say that neither Hillary Clinton nor Jeb Bush are capable of creating jobs.”
I’ve never had a poor man offer me a job.
